Until R4.6 we didn't have the ability to automatically forward mail. For example, you are leaving to Canada and you want to check your mail and you cannot RAS in, wouldn't it be nice to tell Notes to forward your mail to your Hotmail until you come back.

This agent forwards messages to the address you provide (along with attachments). The agent should be set to "run when new mail arrives". To overcome the problem of running the agent the agent gets the last five documents from your inbox and checks for a flag called "MYFWD", it forwards only if it is "null". After forwarding it marks the flag so that the next time it does not forward the previously sent mail.

Limitations: (1)If you are creating this agent, you should have rights to run agents on the server. (2)The subject shows the first 12 letters of the person who has sent you the mail and then the subject. So, when you receive the forwarded mail, it will be from you and the subject would be: "From : yourfriend Sub: subject he sent you"
